Obama was asked to comment on the situation several times by reporters at a White House event on refinancing for homeowners. Obama, however, stuck closely to the script and replied that he wanted to remain focused on housing.

Apparently, he didn't see a script loaded on his teleprompter and therefore, he couldn't comment.

But, more than likely, he is conflicted. There is an American being held hostage, but, the hostage holders are like family to him.
